Lars Ulrich was born in Gentofte, Demark on December,
26th, 1963.
Lars' father is Torben Ulrich, a pro tennis player with
an interest in
Jazz. Lars was introduced to music when his father received
tickets to
a Deep Purple concert in 1973. This concert left a big
impression on
him. By age 13 he had his first drumkit. Lars and his
family moved to
Newport Beach from Denmark in 1980. His parents hoped
this would
help him focus on tennis, which he had been neglecting
in favour of his
interest: music. Eventually he abandoned tennis and became
interested in NWOBHM. (New Wave Of British Heavy Metal.)
Around
this time, he met up with James Hetfield and part of
his band, Leather
Charm. The first meeting was unsucessful. Shortly afterward
he went
to Enlgand where he attened a Diamond Head concert. He
spent two
months 'hanging' with the band before returning home
with an even
more intense passion for music. He called Hetfield again
until he
agreed to meet with Lars a second time, along with bassist
Ron
McGovney. This was the birth of a band called Metallica.
Lars was married on January, 27th 1997!!
